Where in the documentation is built in metrics? I'm curious how Volume Weighted Average Price is implemented. I can see SMA mentioned in the docs, but not sure what else is availalbe. #885

I tried to do my own analysis of VWAP vs SMAP years ago. I recently picked it back up, but the standard for loop is CRAZY slow. I've been playing around with numpy methods to by pass traditional python looping.

I can't find where these standard metrics are. Is the point of this library to build from scratch?

From Quick Start User Guide:

Backtesting.py doesn't ship its own set of technical analysis indicators. Users favoring TA should probably refer to functions from proven indicator libraries, such as TA-Lib or Tulipy ...

So no VWAP built in.
